Show HN: Divot.css – a simple skeuomorphic button style

https://nlaz.github.io/divot.css/

Hey HN, I wanted to share this stylesheet for a skeuomorphic button that comes from a project I've been working on. Hope you find some interest in itI wanted to capture some of the physicality of real buttons so I've been playing with this "soft divot" concept. It's a border style that creates an illusion of the button sitting flush on the page.Skeuomorphic buttons have been around forever....

Alright HN, hope you enjoy this side project I finished up on the holidays. It's a simple static site built with React, Tachyons CSS and deployed to GH Pages. Here's the source if you are interested: https://github.com/nlaz/the-offline-writing-app.

I know there are plenty of holes in the actual usage. Don't it take it seriously. Cheers!

Hi HN, This is a set of flashcards decks for frontend interview questions I've collected. Hope they help you study for your next interview. Happy to answer any questions. Cheers!

Show HN: Startup School Flashcards

Nick and I have been going through Startup School working on a site for developer flashcards. We have simultaneously been studying our own flashcards for Startup School. It's been a really easy way to remember what has been going on in the course. I wanted to share in case they are helpful to anyone. Thoughts/feedback are...

Hey yardshop, that's helpful to hear. We are playing around with different card types for our site. We are trying to balance difficulty and convenience.

Glad to hear you enjoyed them. Sorry about missing your favorite one. We just added :)

Thanks rememberlenny!

Hey HN, I made this tool to help myself and other programmers improve their skills. This a flashcard deck from a favorite source of mine, Jon Benteley's Bumper Sticker Computer Science. Would love to know if you enjoy the flashcards. Thanks in advance!

You cannot create your own deck at the moment. Hoping to add more features soon :)

I would love to know how to improve that experience. I don't think I'm understanding the exact issue though. The buttons should be right next to each other already. Are you suggesting the buttons should replace each other when toggling the answer so the mouse has to move less distance?

Happy to work out this issue individually if you would like and address other questions/feedback you might have. My email is [email protected]. Thanks!

You are right. The reporting feature is just an Airtable form.

Sorry if you are still experiencing load times. It might be worth it to build a cache layer for the API so that the responses are quicker. Will look into how to improve that :/

It should already support both mouse and keyboard options for reviewing flashcards. Is one of those methods not working for you?

The Airtable sheet is pretty simple. It is simply a Card table with Front, Back, and Deck columns and the Deck table contains all the other information you might see on the site. I also have a table for reporting issues through that report form you included.

That's really cool. I hadn't seen that before. I've bookmarked it for future ideas :D

Glad you are taking a peek at the repo. The `src` folder holds the app pages, common components, a scheduling utility and various other setup files. The API calls come from a file called `apiActions`. You might be interested in the `create-react-app` project to learn more about how the overall project is structured: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/pac...

I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have or answer any issues you might have with it :)

Hi HN, I've been collecting flashcard decks around some of the harder topics in frontend development and recently built a site around it. The site is built with `create-react-app` and uses Airtable's API so the app itself is actually pretty small. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know which topics you would like to see in the future. Thanks!

Yeah! I'm working on one here: https://github.com/pensieve-srs/pensieve-web

It definitely was just a fun project and I made it mostly as a joke. However, you are able to specify your messages which the script plugs into a template string. Totally ridiculous and totally impractical but fun nonetheless. Cheers!
